[4suite-dev] 4ss_manager fails on Windows

[Håkon Solberg]

Hi,

I'm a first time user and trying to create an ss repository on Windows XP
with Python25.

I downloaded the latest release of 4Suite (1.0.2), but I could find 4ss/4rdf
in the installation files. So I decided to download the latest source code
from CVS, and compiled with VS 2003. It compiled fine.

When running 4ss_manager init, I get the following error:

C:\temp>4ss_manager init
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 6, in <module>
  File
"c:\python25\lib\site-packages\4Suite_XML-1.0.2-py2.5-win32.egg\Ft\Lib\Co

    return cls().run_commands(script_name, script_args)
  File

    status = cmd.run(options, args)

    return self.function(options, arguments)
  File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\Ft\Server\Server\Commands\Init.py",
line 7 2, in CommandLineInit
    properties = ConfigFile.Read(options.get('config-file'))
  File "c:\python25\lib\site-packages\Ft\Server\Server\Lib\ConfigFile.py",
line 43, in Read
    fileName = GetFileName(fileName)
  File "c:\python25\lib\site-packages\Ft\Server\Server\Lib\ConfigFile.py",
line 30, in GetFileName
    '4ss.conf'))
  File "C:\Python25\lib\ntpath.py", line 90, in join
    assert len(path) > 0
TypeError: object of type 'NoneType' has no len()

It seems that GetConfigVar('SYSCONFDIR') in ConfigFile.py returns 'None',
and therefore the script halts with an error.
